the sensory organs for taste; they contain taste cells and are located mostly on the
tongue

taste buds
a method of brain imaging that injects a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream and
assesses activity of parts of the brain according to the amount of glucose they
metabolize
Give this one a try later!
positron emission tomography (PET scan)
,a mathematical method of determining whether one variable increases or decreases
as another variable increases or decreases
Give this one a try later!
correlational method
using subset of population (hope its representative of population) to get information
Give this one a try later!
sampling
neurons that transmit messages from sensory receptors to the spinal cord and brain
(aka sensory neurons)

the tendency to perceive elements that move together as belonging together

,(deoxyribonucleic acid) the substance that forms the basic material of chromosomes;
it takes the form of a double helix and contains the genetic code

DNA
a stimulus that follows a response and increases the frequency of the response
Give this one a try later!
reinforcement
a binocular cue for depth based on the inward movement of the eyes as they attempt
to focus on an object that is drawing nearer
Give this one a try later!
convergence
an area near the center of the retina that is dense with cones and where vision is
consequently most acute
Give this one a try later!

the branch of psychology that studies the ways in which adaptation and natural
selection are connected with mental processes and behavior
(claim that not only physical traits, but also many patterns of behavior, including social
behavior, evolve & can be transmitted genetically from generation to generation
